Tried It: Farmacy Beauty Hydrating Coconut Gel Mask

Have you seen the latest skin care trend? You know, the mask? I've noticed a lot of women on Instagram daring to show us their masked faces. Curiosity got the best of me and I thought I would request a press sample to see what all the hype was about.

The kind guys at Farmacy sent me a Farmacy Beauty Hydrating Coconut Gel Mask and I was ready to see how this mask would help my delicate skin.

Farmacy Beauty Hydrating Coconut Gel Mask instructions:1. CleanCleanse and tone the skin.2. PrepRemove the mask from the sachet and unfold completely. The mask is placed between two sheets of protective mesh. Remove one side.3. PlantNow place the exposed mask side on your face and smooth over surface, then remove the other protective mesh.4. NurtureLeave the mask on for 20 - 25 minutes for the best results.5. HarvestRemove the mask and gently massage excess formula into the skin.

Real TalkThe mask itself was very slimy as I laid it on my face, which was to be expected I guess. It was a little cumbersome trying to fit it on. I couldn't keep a straight face. I felt like I looked like some masked wrestler! I laughed so hard as my son tried to take pictures of me. My husband retreated to his man cave. Ah, the things we do to be beautiful! I only kept the mask on for a little over 10 minutes since my skin is so sensitive. After I took the mask off, I gently rubbed the residue into my skin as directed. My face felt very dewy and moist, but I eventually rinsed it off as my skin started to feel a little irritated.

Honestly, I'm on the fence with this one. I personally would only use this every once in a while because the mask just looks and feels awkward to me. My skin did feel very moisturized. I'd almost like it better if this were a product I could apply directly to my face.
